726 The real hammer
In the lesson that Emperor Chongzhen taught the prince, he had looked forward to the future, and the scenes described, such as having a car that can travel day and night without being tired, having a boat that can sail against the wind, someone that can fly in the sky, etc., and it can walk a long, long way day and night.
At that time, Emperor Chongzhen said it shocked countless people, but everyone just listened to it. Although it was what Emperor Chongzhen said, at most it was just a skeptical person.
But as the steam engine was built, it seemed that there would be power to burn coal, and some people believed it. Now, when Emperor Chongzhen once again came up with a good thing called "cement" that could be used in road construction, they became more convinced that the emperor was really not just talking.
Looking at the expressions of these ministers in Wenhua Hall, Emperor Chongzhen emphasized again: "As long as the natural knowledge I have taught can be fully mastered and applied, I can say that you said, what I have said before will be presented to the world at a faster pace. At that time..."
Speaking of this, he himself was a little yearning and said affectionately: "...If I go to the south to personally fight, I just need to lead the army into the car, and wake up and go to the south. Our firearms do not need to load and fire so much, but just pull the trigger and lead bullets will be continuously fired. The shells are no longer solid bullets, but will explode after flying out and landing. And it is not only a short distance, but can hit invisible distances. Also, our ships can no longer sail on the water surface, but can also sail in the water and launch an attack on the enemy from the bottom of the water..."
Emperor Chongzhen looked forward to the future again and immediately shocked the ministers in Wenhua Palace again. However, some of these things were really hard for them to imagine.
Finally, a governor of the Governor's Office of the Five Army could not help but report to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I can't understand why this ship swims in the water, it's not a fish!"
For them, this is outrageous.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately retorted: "Why can fish swim in the water, why can't the boat do it? Do you know why fish swim in the water? If you figure out this matter and imitate it when building the boat, how can it not work?"
"..." Not only did he stunned the general, but even the other civil servants in Wenhua Palace could not say it.
What fish can swim in the water, and it can be on the water surface and inside the water?
To be honest, these scholars and officials have never thought about this problem. It seems that fish can swim, why?
Emperor Chongzhen saw their appearance and knew their shock, so he explained to them: "I can tell you that the reason why fish can swim underwater is because there is an organ in the fish's belly called the fish bladder, which is the airbag. By adjusting the air inside, the fish can switch underwater on the water, and the air inside also helps the fish breathe."
After explaining the principle, he stared at these shocked ministers and continued: "If we make a boat like a fish and change its buoyancy by inhaling or expelling water, can we make the boat like a fish?"
In fact, in the Western world, such ideas have long been proposed and have been practiced. Of course, if it is developed in history, the first submarine that can be used for actual combat will not appear until the American War of Independence. Submarines that can successfully blow up enemy ships will be in the period of the American Civil War.
At this time, after hearing the words of Emperor Chongzhen, the ministers in Wenhua Hall were all shocked. When the emperor talked freely, they seemed to have seen such things. And not only this, including ships, cars, etc., it seemed that the emperor had also seen them.
At this time, they couldn't help but think of the emperor's earth-shaking changes since Taizu held a dream. So they immediately attributed the knowledge of Emperor Chongzhen to the fact that Emperor Taizu of heaven brought the current emperor to heaven and saw the situation of the gods, so they could have such an incredible statement.
Many people in Wenhua Palace have made a decision. After Sanchao returns home, they must go and see with their own eyes whether there is any airbag in the fish's belly that the emperor said.
Although they had never seen it at this time, they were basically sure that there were definitely some.
They were thinking about it, and when they heard Emperor Chongzhen raise his voice, he emphasized again: "This time, you should know why I asked the prince to take the lead in applying natural knowledge and join the scientific research. I can say again that if these natural knowledge are studied too much, and if it is truly applied, it will definitely change us drastically. By that time, not to mention that the territory of the Ming Dynasty is now, even if it is twice as big, there will be no such thing as whip!"
After all, I finally talked about the territory. Only then did the ministers in Wenhua Hall truly understand that the emperor was explaining from beginning to end that he did not set up the Xuanwei Division, but wanted to set up a province with a court direct jurisdiction.
To be honest, seeing the emperor talking about these things so persistently, Xue Guoguan's stinking habit was re-debated, and he told Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, even if the court can manage those places, those places are barbarians and their production is limited. Even if the court can collect taxes, how much money can it have?"
It is worthy of being known as the stone in the pit, without any eyesight. It is enough just because the emperor likes to expand territory. You are still concerned about the question of how much tax can be. Isn’t this for the emperor to feel happy!
In Wenhua Palace, many people thought so in their hearts, and they were also a little gloating.
Xue Guoguan firmly controls the position of chief minister of the cabinet. Now the Ming Dynasty's national strength is booming, from a chaotic era like the end of the dynasty to a state of prosperity and prosperity that is more peaceful and prosperous than the prosperous era in history. This auxiliary will inevitably be famous in history books. What kind of virtue does Xue Guoguan have? How can he have such a good opportunity?
However, they did not expect that Emperor Chongzhen was not angry about Xue Guoguan's problem, but answered seriously: "I believe that among you, the courts and the people, there must be such questions. Not to mention the south, just to talk about the north, I even want such a cold place, and I have to ask the three tribes of Mobei to submit. Some people must not understand it. They think I am very happy with the merits and for my face!"
Speaking of this, he stopped and glanced at the ministers below.
As soon as he heard what he said, the civil and military officials below had no courage and quickly said "I dare not" or something.
Emperor Chongzhen sneered in his heart, which was really not honest at all. However, on the surface, he did not show contempt, nor was he angry, and just explained lightly: "Have you ever thought that steam engines and other things are generated by burning coal. The more vigorous the combustion ground, the more powerful the power it produces. One day, there is something underground that can replace the coal, making the firepower burn more vigorously. What I described before must also have higher power to achieve, and burning coal alone is not enough..."
Hearing this, Xue Guoguan couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Your Majesty, is the black oil and hot turbulent oil?"
Oil was discovered and used by humans very early on, but this thing was limited to places where it could produce oil. However, there were very few things under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains dynasty.
Later, although it was transported, it was inconvenient and therefore could not become the main force for combustion. Generally speaking, wood is the main body, coal is the auxiliary, and oil is neglected.
But at this time, Emperor Chongzhen mentioned it, and these ministers in Wenhua Hall could be said to be one of the most experienced people, so they could naturally think of them.
"Yes, Xue Qing is right!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded and affirmed: "It is this fierce tincture oil. After being refined in the future, it can burn more effectively. The power generated by this can make the car and ship drive quickly and allow the machine to fly to the sky with people. By that time, I can tell you that our daily lives cannot be separated from this fierce tincture oil. Is gold valuable? But this fierce tincture oil is more precious than gold!"
Hearing him say this, the ministers in Wenhua Palace were stunned again. They were a little unimaginable. Is this really possible?
If Emperor Chongzhen, who had said these words eleven years ago, would have thought the emperor was crazy and talked nonsense. But now, after so many years of preparation and the emperor's power is at its peak, they have reasonably looked forward to various possibilities in the future. To be honest, although they dare not be 100% sure, no one dares to deny what the emperor said!
At this time, most of them became more and more convinced of a guess. That is, everything described by the Emperor was definitely from heaven. Otherwise, the Emperor would not be so sure, and he would talk like he had seen it with his own eyes.
Thinking of this, their worldview collapsed again. Could it be that there must be gods and heaven, right?
Emperor Chongzhen, however, regardless of what these people were thinking, raised his voice again and emphasized loudly: "And those so-called wild lands such as the nobles actually have countless fierce tincture oil underground. Now that no one has discovered, I took it first to seize resources for our descendants. It is to allow our descendants to enjoy the benefits brought to them by our efforts, so that they can always lead the world!"
